Save the Cheerleader, Save the Environment?

So, a good friend and tag team partner on the football blog was recently spotted reusing plastic bags, getting weird looks from strangers in the process, feeling righteous; things normally associated with eco-terrorism. You’ll find his experiences chronicled here and here.

His baggery of the plastic kind inspired me to use a little less plastic in my everyday life and hence the decision to forsake the usual disposable shaving kits for a straight razor. Like my breakfast though, a bowl of strawberry muesli in cold Hershey’s with a hint of goat’s milk, I was shooting less for a serving of eco-friendly and more for seven large dollops of bad-ass.

Unfortunately, what the Dark Knight is to the Joker, Jägerbombs are to straight edge razors. While sobriety is generally over rated, it pays to keep in mind that when one shaves wasted, that’s one shave wasted.

My misadventures with bad-assery raised a number of important questions amongst which was this one.

Is it gay to save the environment?

In an attempt to find out, I busted out my dusty old copy of Grand Theft Auto IV and in a somewhat misguided expression of heterosexuality, killed a hooker.
